In the first six months of 2011, articles citing GEM appeared in news sources at least 100 times per month. GEM was even referenced in US government cables published by Wikileaks.

GEM is covered worldwide; countries with the highest rates of news coverage have different economies and business characteristics. Brazil, Spain, the United States and South Africa all attract extremely high levels of coverage.
